will not want war again. I have sin>
cerely hoped that we could a^^id
war both in the Atlantic and the Pa
cific. War seldom, if ever, settles
anything and it is Inconceivable to
me that the Japanese government
would be foolish enough to want war
with this country.
Everyone, regardless of party af
filiations, must back up the adminis
tration to the end that we win. This
applies to labor, capital and all other
classes.
“The only thing now is to do our
best to lick hell out of them.”
Herbert Hoover said, on that same
fateful Sunday afternoon: “American
soil has been treacherously attacked
by Japan. Our decision is clear. It is
forced upon us. We must fight with
everything we have.”
We quote these men because they
were unalterably opposed to war un
til the attack by Japan, which indi
cates the unity, we can now expect
from all groups in giving full co
operation to the war effort.
All of Washington is amazed at the
efficient handling of the war program
here, indicating that for months the
administration has bem ready at an
instant’s notice to get our military
and production machine into full op
eration. Production will imdoubtedly
be doubled or tripled almost imme
diately ai^ ,labor has pledged itself
not to let anything interfere with
maximum production.
On the same day as the Japanese
attack, announcement was made that
John L. Lewis was given the closed
shop in the captive coal mines, bpt
that announcement, which the wefek
before would have been headline
news and have caused wide resent
ment throughout the nation, was
passed over as being of no compara
tive importance. Now Jabor and cap
ital will work together as never be
fore and the aim of all groups will
no longer be to get more for them
selves but to produce more for our
nation/
There is no question here but that
the war will call for greater and
greater sacrifice on the part of every
American citizen—but there is also
no question that every American is
now eager to do everything within
his power, no matter what the sacri
fice, to see that the democracies win
this war in the shortest possible
time.
